Title: This Time Imperfect
Movie: Star Wars (Episodes I-III)
Song: "This Time Imperfect" by AFI
Summary: "There are no flowers -- no, not this time. There'll be no angels gracing the lines." Anakin's disappointment, disillusionment and loneliness. The impact of being separated from his mother, and later, of her death. The impact of Qui-Gon's death and consequently being taken under Obi-Wan's reluctant wing instead. And how Anakin and the Jedi just did not mesh; although the Jedi were good and well-intentioned, they were perhaps too inflexible and unsympathetic in his case, which was unique. Just like Anakin's fear of loss ended up ultimately bringing about that loss, the Jedi's fear of Anakin betraying them only served to further alienate him and helped bring about that betrayal.
Disclaimer: Star Wars isn't mind, fool. Neither is AFI's music.

If only the movies were this good. :-P

lol Thanks. That's what I've said in many a review of SW fanfic. Star Wars is one of those movies that I appreciate for the awesome potential the concept has. Not that the execution wasn't impressive in many ways -- I mean, they are pretty stunning visually, and the music is wonderful... And really, I love the story and the characters of the prequels, and there are plenty of interesting themes and parallels. It's just that the dialog is just so fricking awkward and the pacing can be strange. And it often gets gimmicky. But I think that the SW prequel trilogy makes for great fanvids and fanfiction.

Anyway, thank you for watching. :)
